It is a history of Spain
in its most prosperous times. It is long, but, once begun, few find it
hard to finish.

DEAR ST. NICHOLAS: Please tell "Jack" that apples that are part
sour and part sweet grow in the beautiful State of New York. I have
tasted of such fruit and am sure it is so. Who can tell me more
about this wonderful fruit? And how many have ever eaten such
apples?
Can any one tell me what causes them to grow one side sweet, and
the other sour? Hoping to hear more on this subject, I remain,
yours truly,
ALMA AYLESWORTH.

DEAR ST. NICHOLAS: I wish to tell you of Fanny, our little mule,
who cannot be forced to work on Sunday. She is gentle, obedient and
faithful on week days, but on Sunday Fanny will not be made to
move.
Don't think us heathen, dear ST. NICHOLAS, for the boys just tried
to make her carry a load of hay as a test, and to tease her, also;
but when papa saw what they were up to, he put a stop to it, and
now Fanny enjoys her Sundays in peace.
